Last night qued for Titan Ex. Didn't expect to kill it joined mostly to get a bit more practice on it so my expectations were realistic. Que popped, joined and everyone seemed to have a good attitude. First try, we didnt get to heart. Second try we got heart to about 40% but some DPS where dead before. So there was decent progression overall. After that a healer left. So that was that.

Problem is players jump in DF unrealistically expecting a kill. So after one or two wipes they bail. no matter how good the first attempt was. Hell, even wiped on Titan HM on the first pull with FC as people got "warmed up". It is one major reason why so many get gated on content because they either don't want to learn the fight and expect the rest of the party to one-shot it for them. Or they, as Meis example, end up in parties with those who don't want to take the wipes and push progression to learn the fight.
